Different range shifts and determinations of elevational redistributions of native and non-native plant species in Jinfo Mountain of subtropical China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Species are changing their elevational distributions in response to climate change, leading to biodiversity loss and changes in community structure. Yet whether native and non-native species have consistent elevational shifts remains to be evaluated ...

Niche width analyses facilitate identification of high-risk endemic species at high altitudes in western Himalayas

Ecological Indicators, 2021
High-elevation mountain communities are progressively threatened by habitat fragmentation and climate change resulting in habitat shift and biodiversity loss.

Low Pollinator Sharing Between Coexisting Native and Non-native Plant Pairs: The Effect of Corolla Length and Flower Abundance

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Understanding the mechanisms by which non-native plants can attract pollinators in their new geographical zones is important because such species infiltrate native communities and can disrupt native ecological interactions.

Contemporary Remotely Sensed Data Products Refine Invasive Plants Risk Mapping in Data Poor Regions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Invasive weeds are a serious problem worldwide, threatening biodiversity and damaging economies. Modeling potential distributions of invasive weeds can prioritize locations for monitoring and control efforts, increasing management efficiency.

The Impacts of Sprawl on Biodiversity: the Ant Fauna of the Lower Florida Keys

Ecology and Society, 2005
Sprawling development can affect species composition by increasing the rate of invasion by non-native species, and decreasing the persistence of native species.

Non-Native Non-Apis Bees Are More Abundant on Non-Native Versus Native Flowering Woody Landscape Plants

Insects, 2022
Urban ecosystems can support diverse communities of wild native bees. Because bloom times are conserved by geographic origin, incorporating some non-invasive non-native plants in urban landscapes can extend the flowering season and help support bees and ...

Design and Validation of a Single‐Species Environmental DNA qPCR Assay for the Detection of the Invasive Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

Environmental DNA
Biological invasions are a leading driver of biodiversity loss and generate significant economic costs, either through direct impact on native ecosystems or through repairs and remediation.

Long-term evaluation of the impact of urbanization on native and non-native fish assemblages [PDF]

Aquatic Invasions
Urbanization often leads to the homogenization of species composition in aquatic ecosystems, as it introduces disturbances that can destroy the habitats of unique endemic or native species while creating alternative habitats for species capable of ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
